It has been 17 years since the First Lady of the first civilian governor of Old Imo State, Chief Victoria Ahukpeyi Mbakwe, lost her husband and former governor of the state, Chief Sam Mbakwe. In an interview with our correspondent, the former first lady sensationally revealed that no former governor of the state had deemed it necessary to pay her a visit.
And if what he said is the truth, then my husband loved the people of Imo. Everywhere he was, he loved them. What I am telling the current governor is that since he has made that statement, he should act like my husband by loving his people, do whatever that will make them happy and comfortable. So far, he has started well and I hope he will continue.As I said, he has said he is Mbakwe’s incarnate. That is good.
I don’t know much about that. But all the same, it is the right thing to do, because if a governor finishes his term and goes to the Senate or House of Representatives and he is earning money here and there, I don’t think it is fair. So, I think I like that action the governor has taken. I like it very much.
I was a part of the works done in those days, because they say behind every successful man, there is a successful woman. Then, I was helping my husband. I must tell you I am not happy to see all those factories going down. It doesn’t give anybody happiness at all. It doesn’t give me happiness because I know the efforts my husband made to put the industries in place. I think people should continue from where others stopped. And with that, there will be progress.
